Lake Villa District 41 Sixth Grade Consolidation Katie Luaces Grantham University 23 June 2020
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to address a consolidation proposal to the residents and parents of Lake Villa School District 41, which includes William L. Thompson Elementary, BJ Hooper Elementary, Olive C. Martin Elementary and Palombi Middle School in the placement of sixth grade students. DISCUSSION The proposal would consist of moving all sixth-grade students from the assigned elementary schools based on the district boarders, to Palombi Middle School. This proposal, if approved by the District 41 school board representatives will take place at the start of the 2021-2022 school year. The reasoning behind this proposal is to free up three classrooms at each of the elementary schools to accommodate the expansion of the Early Childhood Special Education Program. Early Childhood Special Education Program Currently Lake Villa District 41 does facilitate an Early Childhood Special Education program for students between the age of 3-5 who exhibit developmental delays in the following skills: speech and language, fine and /or gross, pre-academic, and social and emotional. This program is held at William L. Thompson Elementary and can accommodate 30 students, in both a morning and afternoon session. Expansion Benefits This would allow for a significant increase in the Early Childhood Special Education program within District 41. Annually more than 200 application are received, and students are screened to determine the severity of developments delays. Based on the results, the children will either be accepted to the program or denied. With the transition of moving sixth grade to Palombi Middle School, the district would be able to accommodate 120 more children, thus resulting in early intervention for potential learning disabilities. Overcrowding at Palombi Middle School In the 2019-2020 school year, Palombi Middle School had a student population of 637 students, which consist of seventh and eighth graders. If the proposal were voted in favor for, there would be an additional 256 students that would occupy Palombi Middle School. Based on fire safety codes, the maximum capacity for Palombi Middle School is 1000, this includes students and faculty.
